Hi, which of the libraries listed here ( http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Getting_started_with_Java) is the most widely accepted/used by java developers? Are there other options? What do you use?
Depends upon the use case: In more "structured" situations in which we try having more or less accurate mappings of Java objects to JSON documents, we have recently discovered and adopted ektorp and found this to be rather mature and painless to get the job done. In less "structured" situations or in applications in which the amount of third party dependencies should be reduced to a minimum, we usually make use of some sort of HTTP client (apache commons, or the Jersey/JAX-RS client libs) and the svenson JSON lib to get the job done which also works pretty well. Overally, comparing to communicating with other infrastructure (including SQL DB backends), we have explicitely found the option to communicate with CouchDB without being forced to use certain client libraries to be one of the outstanding features of this approach. :)
